His Daughter

His Daughter by Molly Kate Kestner

"Everything's gonna be alright,"
She whispers to herself,
She was only six years old the night,
That she hid behind that shelf,
Cause daddy had a little too much to drink,
And mamma didn't want her to feel the pain,
She felt,
But she still felt the pain,

Well ten years they came and went,
And dad was gone,
So she looked for love in other men,
And tried to act strong,
Oh, broken hearts and scars,
In only places she could see,
Cause she just wanted,
She just wanted to feel something,

And as she sat there on her bed,
Thinking 'bout what those girls said,
Tears streamed from her eyes,
She cried,

"If there's a God out there,
Please hear my prayer,
I'm lost and I'm scared,
And I got no where else to go,
I've come a long, long way,
But I'm not sure I can make it much farther,

So if you're listening,
Could you give a helping hand,
To your daughter,"

Well her past started to change,
She reached out and grabbed God's grace,
And finally, she saw the light,

Until the night when she decided,
One drink was alright,
And one thing led to another,
And next thing you know,
Nine months go by,
She's a mother,

And as she laid there in that bed,
Stroking that small angel's head,
Tears streamed from her eyes,
She cried,

"If there's a God out there,
Please hear my prayer,
I'm lost and I'm scared,
And I got no where else to run,
I've come a long, long way,
But I'm not sure I can be the best mother,

So if you're listening,
Could you give a helping hand,
To your daughter,"

Well that baby grew into a boy,
Who became her pride and joy,
He loved her like no man could,
And her heart felt peace
Cause she finally understood,
God's love,

So as she laid there in that bed,
Ninety-nine years old,
She grabbed her son's hand and said,
"There's something you must know,

There is a God out there,
Who heard my prayer,
I was lost and afraid,
And I had no where else to go,
I had no clue, what to do,
And then He sent me you,

So if you're lost and afraid,
And you feel so alone,
Don't worry child,
There's a Father who will love you as His own,
Just like He loved His daughter,

Like He loved His daughter."
